Self Code Review

Makes the agent review its own code before you ship it. Six passes, findings ranked by real impact, and a verdict it is allowed to answer with 'this is clean'.

an agent grading its own homework fails in one of two directions. it rubber stamps, because the code it just wrote obviously made sense to it. or it manufactures a wall of nitpicks, because a review that found nothing feels like a review that did not happen.

both are useless. this forbids both.

it defines what a real finding actually is. "this could be better" is not a finding, it is a feeling. "lines 42 to 58 duplicate the validation logic from lines 12 to 28 in auth.ts" is a finding. name the file, the line, what is wrong, why it matters.

it ranks by impact, not by what is easiest to spot. a review that opens with a style nit while a bug sits on line 42 has failed.

and clean is a first class verdict. if the code is good it says so and stops, instead of inventing work to justify the invocation.

the part i like most is the "no action needed" section at the end. it is the difference between "i found nothing" and "i checked these seven things and they are fine".
